LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nintendo is taking a cue from “Skylanders” and “Disney Infinity.”

The Japanese gaming giant unveiled a toy figure line called “amiibo” that will work in tandem with its video games like the toys-meet-games franchises from Activision Blizzard Inc. and the Walt Disney Co. The announcement was made in an online video released Tuesday during the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the industry’s annual trade show.
